vladimir putin gave a press conference. As expected, it consisted of yet another round of manipulation, distortion of reality, and intimidation.
The Center cites putin’s main “post-election talking points”:
▫️ The elections in russia are “legitimate and democratic,” and the unrealistically high turnout is explained by the “consolidation of russian society” and is related to the “dramatic events in the country.”
▫️ putin expressed surprise at the “high election results” in the TOT. According to him, “we are doing everything right, people are grateful to us for the decisions we have made to protect them.”
▫️ The main task of russia after the elections is to continue the war in Ukraine: “First of all, we need to solve the problems within the framework of the smo.”
▫️ russia is “ready for peace talks” but “taking into account the situation on the front line”.
▫️ the conflict between russia and NATO will be “one step away from a full-scale third world war. Hardly anyone is interested in this”.
